- Response to the First Time correction
I see no reason (other than courtesy) for CM to apologize to Charles Monpetit and Martin Stephens for the gender error concerning the short story "Borders." As someone who reviewed the two First Time volumes for CCL (Canadian Children's Literature), I, too, was stumped by the gender of the story's central character. I reread the story a number of times to see if I could find any use of a gender pronoun which would guide me and found none. I also remembered that Monpetit had told readers that, while the stories were all true, readers should not automatically assume that their contents were autobiographical. Consequently, while Stephens is male, I (and others) cannot (and likely do not) automatically assume the story's narrator is also male, especially given that the incidence of abuse of females is so much greater than that of males.
